I was recently given the opportunity to be the featured artist at The Hive Gallery in downtown Los Angeles, and I can't think of anything better to finish out our first year living in LA. I worked on most of this work all year long and to see it all hanging together was very rewarding. Can't wait to get back to work and create more pieces in 2018!

Music plays a very big part in my process, so if you're into that sort of thing check out the Super Bloom playlist! Most of these pieces were created while listening to this playlist, and named for lines in the songs. https://open.spotify.com/user/1298568189/playlist/339gcbXgnPbWaujeFKhZZc

The Hive owner, Nathan, and I at the opening night. He has been such an amazing supporter of my work this year and last year!

I could not have done this without my amazing partner and best friend for life <3

ssshhh. I’m listening to reason. 🌿 #unfiltered, #unedited peak into a reference photo session. So many of these never turn into an illustration.

#throwback to this time lapse of Honey Honey. I can’t believe it’s been two years since I did this. More often than I’d like, I’m overwhelmed with guilt that I’m not doing enough, not enough art, not good enough. I’m lucky to have a husband who always patiently reminds me that I do enough, am enough. We (artists or not) should give ourselves more grace and trust in ourselves more. I’m trying to. 💕

Happy Monday y’all. I’ve got some stuff in the works that I’m not quite ready to show yet, so in the meantime here is one of my favorite close ups; a detail from my piece “Angel” 🌼🌼🌼
